America's best kept musical secret in the realm of dark, atmospheric Art Rock signs with Prophecy Productions
Dark, atmospheric art rock band 1476 has signed with Prophecy Productions (Empyrium, Alcest, Arcturus, Antimatter). A duo consisting of musicians Robb Kavjian and Neil DeRosa, 1476 creates monumental music that draws upon elements from many genres including metal, dark indie rock, neofolk and ambient. The band harbors an energy and mood that reflects the old, haunting landscapes of New England's coastal regions as well as the members' personal spiritual / philosophical interests and practices.
Imagine an unmistakably unique band, active for several years, while performing and self-releasing three majestic albums and two heady EPs, flying secretly under the radar of record labels, music media and the wider public at large. Not possible in these modern times of unfiltered music availability and the information superhighway, you say? Meet New England's 1476, America's best kept musical secret in the realm of dark, atmospheric Art Rock!
To celebrate, Prophecy will reissue 1476's 2012 release, "Wildwood", enhanced with the addition of the band's "The Nightside" EP, as well as the rest of the group's back catalog, including the 2010 EP "Smoke In The Sky" (enhanced with the recording of a 2010 live concert) and the soundtrack, "Edgar Allen Poe: A Life Of Hope & Despair", this July.
